New, interesting, or unusual items learned

The Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) and the People Power Party (PPP) have long been rivals, forming the two major political parties in South Korea. Political polarization has been one of the most pressing issues in Korean society, driven by complex factors such as region, generation, and gender. The Jeolla region tends to support the DPK, while the Gyeongsang region favors the PPP. Younger and middle-aged voters are more likely to support the DPK, whereas older generations tend to prefer the PPP. Women are more likely to vote for the DPK, while men are more inclined to vote for the PPP. Due to the gender-based divide in political preferences, gender conflict is particularly widespread online among the younger generation. Such gender-based political polarization can also be observed in other countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany.


Question, concern, or discussion angle

The rise of far-right parties in Europe is causing concern. Examples include Alternative for Germany (AfD) in Germany, the National Rally in France, and Brothers of Italy in Italy. Most far-right parties are rooted in anti-immigration sentiments and nationalism. However, in South Korea, far-right parties tend to be characterized more by anti-communism than by anti-immigration. Why is that? Is it because of the historical context of war and division with North Korea?

    Yes, the historical context of division and war with North Korea plays a key role in shaping South Korea’s far-right politics. Unlike Europe, where far-right parties often focus on anti-immigration and nationalism, South Korea’s far-right tends to emphasize strong anti-communism. This is largely due to the Korean War and the ongoing threat from the North. As a result, communism is often associated with national security threats. This unique geopolitical situation has shaped conservative ideology in a different direction.

Introduction to the blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from Collective Intelligence in Practice: Understanding Wikipedia at the Hanyang University in Korea (2025) will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on our blog and make a comment on another student's post. You can do so on one of the following three topics: a) You can blog about the readings for the next week. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. An ideal commentary should be about half a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incor...

Week 1. My Recent Wikipedia Edits - Jeong seolah (정설아)

I made several edits to the Wikipedia page for 'Daegu'.  Daegu, located in the southeastern part of South Korea, is the third-largest urban area in the country, following Seoul and Busan. With a population exceeding 2.3 million, it is the fourth-largest metropolitan city in South Korea and the second-largest in the Yeongnam region after Busan. Often referred to together with the surrounding North Gyeongsang Province as Daegu-Gyeongbuk, this region is home to over 5 million residents. Known for its rich history and vibrant economy, Daegu stands as a key player in South Korea's cultural and industrial landscape. Below is a summary of the changes I contributed. 1) Summarize and link Sights Section:  - Improved clarity by changing “mountains keep many traditional temples” to “the mountains keep many traditional temples.” Mosque Controversy Section:  - Simplified a sentence by removing “and of the authorities.” Festivals Section:  - Made phrasing smoother by changing “tho...

Week4 - Review about the readings for the next week. - Jo HyeonSeong (조현성)

 1. Summarize in my own words of materials. The book is primarily about the openness of Wikipedia. Openness means that anyone can participate in the creation and editing of articles without any qualifications. Openness can be a double-edged sword. While it means that you can edit without having expert knowledge of a topic, it also means that you can participate even if you have expert knowledge. For experts, articles written by non-experts can come across as inaccurate knowledge, which can anger experts. This anger can also be a catalyst for Wikipedia to continue to improve. However, articles edited only by non-experts can cause misunderstandings and convey incorrect information, so openness can be considered a double-edged sword. In fact, it sometimes causes some conflict, such as Wales' negative stance. Openness also means freedom from copyright, which means anyone can take it and use it anywhere. That is why the knowledge of non-experts can have greater impact. That is why appro...
